Human suffering, the search for its causes and explanations make up an essential theme in Western Christianity. Since Patristics, the variable faces of human suffering have been predominantly understood and justified from an anthropological pessimism, with a direct relationship between guilt for sin and divine punishment. In this way, reflection on human suffering is linked to reflection on the image of the Christian God, historically described as a supreme, apathetic, perfect, unshakable, impassive, all-powerful, punishing judge. From this theological conception, which still finds an echo in Christian thought, what is intended is to present a way of overcoming it, re-signifying human suffering, as well as the very image of God. To this end, such a path will be built through a qualitative bibliographical research of a dialectical approach based on a dialogue between the thought of the German theologian Jürgen Moltmann with human suffering and with the conception of God, specifically from his Christological and Trinitarian perspectives, culminating in his theopathy. Divided into three parts, the proposed path begins with a reflection on human suffering in the history of Western Christianity, from Patristics, through the Middle Ages, to Modernity and the current pandemic days. Then, the research focuses on the suffering of God, theopathy proposed by Moltmann whose apex is found incarnated in the divine pathos of Golgotha, suffering for love taken to the last circumstances. In the third part, the research is dedicated to the implications of Moltmannian theopathy for theology and for the church, starting from the assumption that human suffering is the suffering of God, suffering that leads to death, but which is eternally overcome in human history by resurrection of the crucified God and the celebration of life, with relevant implications for theology and the church, overcoming human guilt and divine apathy in the face of suffering.
